Dressy Novelties In Ladies' Boots and
Shoes, Hosiery and Summer Cloths.


Shoes, Hosiery and Summer Cloths.
Boots and shoes are less pointed,
without. however, being quite square
at the toes. The two styles have made
mutual concessions. and in conse-
quence boots taper, but stop short be-
fore forming decided point Silk
stockings in colors of fawn, heliotrope.
Roman red. pale bronze. moss green.
cameo and silver, are considered the
hose par excellence this season to be
worn with fine summer shoes and
sandals of lightweight French kid.
Very ornate low-cut sandals and slip
pers. with tabs. straps. bands, and
buckles. are still very fashionable for
drawing-room toilets. but are never
adopted for the street, except for
carriage wear during the very heated
summer weather; however, half low
Newport ties. Fedora shoes. and me-
dium-high opera shoes will be seen on
the promenade, these invariable worn
with stockings of jet black, no other
color being admissible. unless perhaps
exception be made of golden brown
silk stockings or hose of fine Lisle
thread of this color. worn with half
low shoes of bronze kid.
One of the pretty combina atoms of
the moment, of which there are so
many. shows an mderskirt of cream
oolored satin foulard. brocaded with
rose blossoms in shaded pink. sur.
rounded with delicate green leaves.
Upon this is draped in such a manner
rs to leave the left side entirely ex-
posed shepherdess polonaise Of
moss-greon crepe de chine, the silk of
the finest texture and of wonderful
luster. The drapery is looped high on
the left side, almost to the waist,
where is placed cluster of moss
green and pale pink ribbons vii
loops of unequal length. The sleeves
reach TO just below the elbow, and the
corsage portion, also of the figured
foulard, opens over a blouse vest Of
the crepe dc chine. which is trimmed
with jabotcd frill of cream lace from
throat to belt. This costume is de-
signed for summer evening dancing
dress for pretty young blonde. whose
rosc-and-lily complexion enables her to
don this very trying tint. just now so
fashionable, with impunity.
Decided contrasts in color and the
use of summer cloths are the features
Of the most elegant French tailor
gowns For example, q heliotrope
armure opens over a vest and petticoat
Of Suede cloth, decorated with bands
Of heliotropo silk gimp. Amoss- green
nuns cloth costume has n lower skirt
ct gray-white pilot-cloth. striped with
moss green. Serge gowns of bright
Roman red for natty young ladies are
| half-conccAled by elaborate braid en-
broider.cs, or with passemcnteries, or
very deep geranium red. while for
more mature women are dark green
costumes drapcd on golden brown, or
suits of gray cloth over undcrdrcsscs
of striped CLOTH showing three distinct
shades of gray alternating with half
stripe of japanese red. The basques
of these dresses are handsomely trim
med in front, but are severely plain in
the back. often being cut with the pos
tillion plaits. and in many cases being
finished with single point, or with all
the handful of plai:s in tho middle
seam we're closely Tapped over each
other and cut IN points at the end. N
